Awkward Pictures of San Francisco Politicians

In case you have forgotten, an artiste and local treasure named Bill Wilson serves citizens of the City and County of San Francisco by attending various awkward municipal events and taking photos of politicians (usually the Mayor), which he then posts on his website. Any visit to Bill’s site is guaranteed to provide the viewer an array of masterpieces.

The awkward moment below is brought to you by the Ed Lee for Mayor campaign. Rose Pak is taking a polite break from her pho to get the public snub from Ed. That’s such a guy thing to do. Oh, NOW you barely know her? Sheesh. That’s colder than Rose’s soup.

Nothing to see here. Just Mayor Lee kicking it in the Glass Coffin. Move along.

Gavin Newsom: “He’s toured around the world, from London to the Bay. It’s Gavin, go Gavin, LG Gavin, yo Gavin and the rest can go and pl…”

Why does Governor Brown look pissed off 99% of the time? It’s like he still can’t get over those fancy, complicated ATM machines or the exorbitant price of a stamp.

What a trooper Bill is to wade among Prop 8 enthusiasts, one of whom is wearing what appears to be a floor length denim skirt. While we’re at work plugging away, Bill Wilson is pounding the pavement to bring us awkward moments in public service and douchey people protesting freedom. Thank you Bill!
